Michelle Williams: Get the Cover Look

Recreate our April cover star's look

The skin. The hair. The radiant glow. It's near impossible to look at Michelle Williams on the cover of ELLE's April issue without wanting to emulate her look down to the very eyeliner drawn along her top lashline!

The 'no-makeup' makeup look is huge for the upcoming season, but getting it right comes down to the base, namely, the prep you put in before you swipe on your foundation. Keep your colour choices as close to natural as possible too. If you're fair, go for peaches and pinks; if you have a medium skin tone, try sugary colours like caramel, toffee and honey and if you have a dark skin tone, go for deep bronzes.

The skincare and make-up essentials you need to recreate Michelle Williams' April cover look.

A natural looking base calls for an ultra-thin foundation with great coverage. Add a drop of foundation to the brush reservoir and add 1 more at a time to build up coverage. Buff into skin in circular motions rather than up and down.

Apply the taupe from the palette all over your eyelid with an eyeshadow brush and then contour with the brown, just along your lid crease. To keep it looking natural, blend with the brush so that the darker shade works seemlessly into the lighter shade.

We know it's a 'no-make-up' make-up look, but you don't want your eyes to look washed out. Draw along your top lash line with a kohl pencil to give them a touch of definition. This one glides on really easily, thanks to it's soft texture.
